We all have certain things that are important to us. Aspects of ourselves that we consider to be the unshakable foundation of who we are as individuals. For Brighton & Hove Albion’s Kazenga LuaLua, the backflip goal celebration is an expression of that. And he wasn’t about to let a knee injury that kept him out for two months scare him off doing it.
The 24-year-old winger scored for the first time since returning from the injury in Brighton’s 2-0 win against Derby on Tuesday and despite his coaches’ disapproval, he celebrated with his backflip.
